Your Bridge has been working hard to make the MYCBC experience the best it can be. If you can think of something we need to do or do better then please let us know. You can contact us individually under the about us tab at the top of the page.

It is with great sadness that I announce the departure of our long term Membership/Treasurer Ron. He has decided that 11 years is enough and he will be retiring at the end of the 2019 season. This will be a great loss to the club. Both because he is such a great guy and he has done an awesome job for us for all these years. It is time for someone to step up and fill his shoes. If you are interested in helping the club by filling in as Membership/treasurer, please contact the bridge to let us know.

The MYCBC Bridge wishes all members a

Happy and Healthy New Year

and as much time as you can possibly spend on your boat for 2019.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE AGM

Thanks first of all to the members who showed up to make the tough decisions at the AGM. Thanks to this year’s Bridge for the great work and welcome to the new 2019 Bridge. The MINUTES OF THE AGM ARE HERE. We spent lots of money, approved keeping the 2019 dues at $35, approved changes to the Cruise Guidelines, Flotilla Guidelines and the Fleet Stars Program and welcomed the 2019 Theme of MYCBC and MacGregor Safety. Our presentations and many of our activities thoughout the coming year will emphasize SAFETY. We look forward to the upcoming changes in the “Confidence Cruises” part of our Education Programs and finally all the great plans for next year that you can find in our 2019 CALENDAR under the About Us Tab. Be sure to check the Calendar and book early for all the fun. See you at the Year End Dinner and Awards Night November 17.

Welcome to MYCBC

Welcome to the home of the Macgregor Yacht Club of British Columbia. We are a group of present and past Macgregor Yacht and Tattoo Yacht owners. Most of our members are in British Columbia, Canada, although we do have members from other places in Canada and the USA.

We organize on and off the water activities for owners of Macgregor and Tattoo boats; regattas, cruises, flotillas and our annual all member get together ‘MacRendezvous’. Members share tips, ideas, and hard-come-by knowledge about how to maximize the joy of owning these wonderfully affordable boats.

MYCBC membership provides you with full access to all areas of the website and the ability to participate in all activities. The modest, annual membership fee is $65 for the first year (which includes a club burgie and welcome package) and $35 per year thereafter. Membership in the club is recognized at marine stores and marinas for discounts on supplies and moorage. We also have negotiated discount insurance coverage for members. The saving you can expect will pay back your membership fee manyfold.

What’s inside?
•News about the club and its activities
•Forums to discuss Macgregor Boats and Boating in general
•Photo Galleries of boating with the Macgregor
